1.Getting Started


2.Hiring / Management


3.Success and Growth
Product
is your
marketing
plan
Love, not like
Execution more
important than
ideas
Stay
focused
Be great at
saying no
Listen to
your
customers
Feedback, not
ideas
Iterate quickly
Don’t fear
the big
guys
You’re faster
and more
focused
Their interest is
a good thing
Small, but
high
quality
Smart and
humble
Mediocre
players worse
than horrible
ones
Hire
problem
solvers
Avoid the
boss’s trap
Set
expectations
early
Set the
right
incentives
You’ll be
amazed what
people can
accomplish
Delegate

Irresponsible
not to do it
Be
scrappy
Saves money
Sets the right
tone
Take the
money
Don’t fret over
valuation
Stretch every
dollar, even if
you have a lot
of them
Stay
nimble
Small team
helps
Pay attention to
gravity of
business
